Get Rich Quick E-Books, Why Bother?

I may have a completly different prospective on this. First off let me say that I am a freelance writer. I write a variety of material including books. I am currently working on some self published e-books as well as two novels. I work very hard on what I write. I write to help others and I write to earn a living. As a writer, I feel this is completely wrong, especially if she is putting her name on the book. It cuts out the profit for the original author, so in turn it hurts them. One can say that it is no different than buying books at a used books store or at a garage sale. But it is...generally those books have been read, and the author is building a reputation and a name. E-books have brought about many great things for writers, but it hasn't come without a price and damages as well. Personally speaking, I feel that if she hasn't tried the methods and has only bought the book as a means to earn money on ebay, that is sad. It will only hurt her ebay reputation. Some people will do anything for a buck, even sacrifice their integrity. I hope I didn't put any you off by my comments, they are just my opinion.
